Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some locations can not be treated as a result of access issues, then white ants will identify the gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

The most frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
